MacKenzie Gore To Start Series Finale Against Giants
3 years agoSan Diego Padres pitcher MacKenzie Gore has been named the starter for Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Mike Clevinger was originally slated to start Sunday's game, but he is being pushed back to Monday. Gore has looked fantastic in his first exposure to the majors this year. He's made six appearances (five starts) and he's pitched to a 2.17 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP while compiling 32 strikeouts across 29 frames. The biggest obstacle standing in front of him at this point is the Padres' starting pitching depth. There's a chance Gore will head back to a bullpen role after Sunday's start, but the Padres' plans remain a bit unclear for now.
